Hi D&L
Great to see you guys posting again. Beautiful flower and lovely texture in a clean bg.

I wonder how this would look with a faint fill light to bring out a little more details in the top half of the flower.

Looks vaguely familiar. :wink: I like how well you've captured the the "wrinkles" in the skirt

Beautifully delicate flower. Well shot IMO with great detail. Very nice BG as well.

Very pretty comp/presentation! It seems a tad flat, probably due to the overcast lighting. I wonder if boosting yellow/red luminance would help with that at all.

Nice to see you posting again, D & L !! A beautifully composed image with perfect dof. Like others I wonder a bit about more light on the flower centre but guess maybe you were aiming for a more subdued effect, which I think does suit the flower perfectly well.
